SECTION 3 FRONT I/O PORTS 11
3.1 USB 2.0 Connect the front I/O panel USB cable to the USB header pin on your motherboard. Check the motherboard user s manual to ensure that it matches the table below: 1 2 9 10 Pin Signal Names Pin Signal Names 1 USB Power 1 2 USB Power 2 3 Negative Signal 1 4 Negative Signal 2 5 Positive Signal 1 6 Positive Signal 2 7 Ground 1 8 Ground 2 9 Key (No Connection) 10 Empty Pin 3.2 AC 97 / HD AUDIO PORTS There is an Intel standard 10-pin AC 97 connector and an Intel 10-pin HDA (High Definition Audio) connector linked to the front panel of the case. Pin Signal Names (HDA) Pin Signal Names (AC 97) 1 MIC2 L 1 MIC In 2 AGND 2 GND 3 MIC2 R 3 MIC Power 4 AVCC 4 NC 5 FRO-R 5 Line Out (R) 6 MIC2_JD 6 Line Out (R) 7 F_IO_SEN 7 NC 8 Key (no pin) 8 Key (no pin) 9 FRO-L 9 Line Out (L) 10 LINE2_JD 10 Line Out (L) You can connect either the AC 97 or the HDA connector, depending on your motherboard. Locate the internal audio connectors from your motherboard or sound card and connect the corresponding audio cable. Consult your motherboard or sound card manual for the pin-out positions. Even if your system supports both standards, only use one connector. 12
3.3 POWER SWITCH / HARD DISK DRIVE LED CONNECTORS Connected to your front panel are LED and switch leads for power and HDD LED activity. Attach these to the corresponding connectors on your motherboard. Consult your motherboard manual for specific pin header locations. For LEDs, colored wires are positive ( + ). White or black wires are negative ( ). If the LED does not light up when the system is powered on, try reversing the connection. For more information on connecting LEDs to your motherboard, see your motherboard user s manual. Note: Polarity (positive and negative) does not matter for switches. 3.4 REWIRING MOTHERBOARD HEADER CONNECTIONS There may come a time when you need to reconfigure the pin-out of a motherboard header connector. Examples could be for your USB header, audio input header, or some other front panel connector such as the Power Button connector. Before performing any work, please refer to your motherboard user s manual or your motherboard manufacturer's website to be sure of the pin-out needed for your connector. We strongly recommend making a notated drawing before beginning work so that you can recover if your work gets disturbed. 1. Determine which wires you need to remove in order to rewire your plug to match the USB pin-outs on your motherboard (refer to your motherboard user s manual). Working on one connector at a time, use a very small flathead screwdriver or similar tool to lift up on the black tab located beside the gold posts (squares). This will allow you to easily slide out the pins from the USB plug. 2. Working carefully so as not to damage the wires, connectors, or pins, slowly remove the pin from the connector. Repeat these steps for each wire you need to change. 3. Working carefully so as not to damage the wires, connectors or pins, slowly reinsert the pin into the correct slot of the connector then snap closed the black tab that was lifted in step 1. Repeat these steps for each wire you need to change. 13
4.1 INCLUDED FANS Rear TwoCool Fan There is a 120 x 25 mm TwoCool fan preinstalled at the rear of the case. The fan is installed so the air will be blown out of the case. This fan comes with a two-speed switch that let you choose the speed best suited to your need. The default fan speed setting is Low. 120 mm TwoCool Specifications Size: 120 x 25 mm TwoCool fan Rated Voltage: 12V Operating Voltage: 10.8V ~ 13.2V Speed (RPM) Input Current Airflow Static Pressure Acoustic Noise Input Power High 1500 0.30A (Max.) 1.4 m³ / min (51.2 CFM) 1.2 mm-h 2O (0.05 inch-h 2O) 27.9 dba 3.6W Low 900 0.18A 0.08 m³ / min (30.1 CFM) 0.5 mm-h2o (0.02 inch-h2o) 16.9 dba 2.2W Top TwoCool Fan The case comes with a 140 mm top exhaust fan. The fan is installed so the air will be blown out of the case. This fan comes with a two-speed switch that let you choose the speed best suited to your need. The default fan speed setting is Low. 140 mm TwoCool Specifications Size: 140 x 25 mm TwoCool Rated Voltage: 12V Operating Voltage: 10.8V ~ 13.2 V Speed (RPM) Input Current Airflow Static Pressure Acoustic Noise Input Power High 1200 0.3A (Max.) 1.7 m³ / min (58.9 CFM) 0.8 mm-h2o (0.03 inch-h2o) 26.0 dba 3.6W Low 800 0.2A 0.95 m³ / min (33.6 CFM) 0.3 mm-h2o (0.01 inch-h2o) 21.8 dba 2.4W Note: The minimum voltage to start a typical TwoCool fan is 5V. We recommend that you set the fan speed to High if you choose to connect the fan(s) to a fan control device or to the Fan-Only connector found on some Antec power supplies. A fan control device regulates the fan speed by varying the voltage, which may start as low as 4.5V to 5V. Connecting a TwoCool fan set on Low to a fan-control device may result in the fan not being able to start because the already lowered voltage from the fan control device will be further reduced by the TwoCool circuitry below 5V. 14
4.2 OPTIONAL FANS There are total of three optional 120 mm fan mounts one side intake fan (on the left side panel) and two front intake fans (at the front of the HDD cage). We recommend using Antec 120 mm speed control fans and setting the speed to Low. These fans must be installed so that the air is blowing into the case. Side Fan The side fan enhances graphic cards cooling. The fan should be installed so air is blowing into the case. Front Fans You can install two 120 mm fans to the fan cages in front of the hard drive bays. To install the front fans: 1. Remove the front bezel as described in section 2.5 2. Secure your 120 mm fan(s) to the fan holder. The fan should be installed so that air is blowing into the case. 3. Reattach the fan holder to the case by inserting the right side into the corresponding slots on the front of the case, then rotating the holder back into position until it clicks into place. 15
